When Florida was won, it was only the second time in my life I had seen my father cry. The first was when his mother died.
He told me he never believed he would live to see a Patriot in the WH again in his lifetime.
I have no hesitation in saying it was perhaps the greatest night of my life.
I cannot convey the total wave of relief and happiness that flooded over me that night. I was just about to call it a night when a reporter on CNN said, “Wait a minute! I need to verify something. Come back to me.” I knew something was up, and I stayed with it. I was rewarded minutes later with the glorious news.
I have to admit, I have not felt that kind of euphoria since my son was born.
That’s the only time I saw my father cry....when his mother died.
Your story chokes me up. Thanks for sharing!
Cool story.
